Property description

This delightful four bed detached residence is the epitome of the archetypal family home, a real gem which not only offers well proportioned living accommodation, but a warm and inviting ambiance, and a real homely feel; this really is a family home, something which cannot be replicated through decor, fixtures or fittings, instead being an enviable quality which is engrained within its make-up. The generous floor plan affords in excess of 1,560 square feet of living space, which has been fastidiously maintained and cared for throughout our client’s substantial tenure, a glowing endorsement of its fabulous credentials as a long-term home in which to raise a family.

The property is situated on the periphery of this highly regarded residential development, located just off Green Lane, and what makes this home so special is as much about the outside space as its interior, with a simply beautiful plot which affords a fabulous rear garden, which affords an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion, as well as a perfect recreational space for the little ones to explore to their heart’s content. Located in the thriving village of Standish, the area has demonstrated itself to be a consistent attraction to prospective buyers, its strong sense of community, and all that it is able to offer its inhabitants, being a particularly strong pull for those looking for a location to raise their family. 

At its heart, the beautiful Parish Church of St. Wilfrid, the only Grade I listed building within Wigan, as well as other delightful landmarks such as a late medieval cross and stone stocks in the market place, whilst the bustling village centre, which is within walking distance of the property, provides a host of local shops and amenities, including a post office, two banks and three supermarkets. When one is craving something more vibrant still, Wigan town centre is only a short distance away with its diverse range of high street stores, trendy bars and eclectic eateries, which will be perfect for those who enjoy a hectic social calendar. The area boasts a number of highly regarded schools at both primary and secondary level, with the outstanding Wood Fold Primary School situated virtually on the doorstep, whilst the older members of the family are also well catered for, with close proximity to the M6 motorway, which can be accessed within a couple of minutes, ensuring major commercial centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Preston are within a reasonable commute. 

One enters the property via the entrance hallway with its spindled staircase to the first floor and convenient two piece cloakroom/WC – always useful in a home with young children – and proceeds through into the sun lounge, which has patio doors opening directly onto the garden, which will be lovely in the summer months. The open plan layout into the superb 14’ lounge, creates a real feeling of space, and the room is flooded with natural light via the large picture window to the front elevation, whilst the feature fireplace with its inset living flame gas fire infuses a real cosy atmosphere. Those who require some space to work from home will be suitably impressed by the 11’ study, or perhaps this could be utilised as a playroom for the children, whilst the 13’ breakfast kitchen feels like a real hub of the home and benefits from lots of storage; fitted with a comprehensive range of base and wall units in white with complimentary laminated work surfaces, and there is a handy built-in breakfast bar when one is grabbing a swift bite to eat before the school run. More formal dining can take place in the off-lying 16’ dining room, which also benefits from direct access to the garden via uPVC patio doors, and the handy utility room is an ideal place to house the washing machine, dryer and fridge/freezer. 

If one ventures up to the first floor, the landing with its built-in storage cupboard provides access to the four bright bedrooms, all of which are of an excellent size, with one of the larger bedrooms boasting a large built-in storage cupboard which could provide potential for a new owner to create an en-suite shower room, if so desired. The family bathroom completes the accommodation, being fully tiled and fitted with a three piece suite, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with overhead shower..  One further highlight is the installation of solar panels, which makes the property extremely environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, whilst gas central heating is also installed throughout. 

Externally, the double-width driveway provides off-road parking facilities for a number of vehicles, as well as giving access to the attached single garage, which also houses the gas combination boiler, whilst there are beautifully maintained gardens, the rear being a particular horticultural treat, being of an excellent size and mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs, including fruit trees. Early internal viewing is highly recommended.
